Big Spirit - Nightbirds Lyrics

Well the stars are out tonight
But I'm down here in the street
They say"Dream while you can son
While the night is still very young""Oh you can be a part of everything man
There's no reason why you can't
Oh you can lay beside a heavenly child
Anytime of night that you like"

They say"Beat your own drum
But we'll catch you if you run"
So I just keep my head down
Try to make a pretty sound

Oh baby
What can you do?
You know the truth ain't beautiful
Oh babe
We got nothing to lose

They say"We ain't got no more time"
But it won't take me very long
So dream your pretty dreams
And I'll keep 'em with mine

I wanna know if things are alright with you man?
I don't know if they're alright with me?
You know the eye of god is watching us now
As we're burning through the streets

Oh baby
What can you do?
You know I can't save you
You pray but what good does it do?

She said"I won't wait, I can't sit around and wait for you"
She cries"It's too late man what am I supposed to do?
You take baby take what I can't give to you"
She cries"I might bend but I won't break for you"

And there ain't nothing else for me
I can feel it in my bones
So set your dreams free
Send 'em right back up home

They say that"Time waits for no man"
And"Good things come to those who wait"
But I see the stars in the gutter, man
And the light there at the gate
I hope you know you are the greatest thing man
That ever happened in my life
I got a feeling deep inside my heart man
Everything's gonna be alright

Alright, alright, alright
Yeah right, yeah right, yeah right
